Q & A

What is Sun SPOT?• A Java platform for developing

applications for wireless networks and small devices

• Applications such as:> Robotics> Art> Toys> Personal electronics> Commercial Applications> Telemetries

Sun SPOT Device• Basic device has three layers> Battery> Processor Board with Wireless

Communication> Sensor Board (add-on card)

• Processor Board alone acts as a base-station• User programs the device

entirely in Java using Netbeans.

Sun SPOT

• 3-axis accelerometer• Temperature sensor• Light sensor• LEDs• Analog inputs• Switches• General purpose I/O

Sun Java Squawk VMFrameworkFramework

Why Sun SPOT?• Need for higher level programming language> With good development tools and IDEs. eg. Netbeans.

• higher level proramming language> Java vs. C

• Separate developer from low level hardware> Focus on application functionality and features.

• Open Source Now!> https://spots.dev.java.net/

Why Sun SPOT?• Abstraction of low level details through VM• Protection of hardware by VM> Memory protection from bad code> Security protection from malicious code

• 802.15.4 wireless communication> upto 250Kbps, ZigBee support> adhoc, mesh, cluster tee and star topologies.

• A simple device with sensors and wireless operates at low power
